The Alfred L. “Duke” Heller & O. Hilt Tatum Comprehensive Oral Implantology residency program trains dentists in surgery, prosthetics, dental implant maintenance and comprehensive oral implantology, according to a Feb. 15 news release.
“Oral implantology is a $6.8 billion industry that will only continue to grow, and the dramatic advances in knowledge within this field in recent years has created the need for an implantology branch within dentistry,” Andrew MacConnell, DDS, president of the Comprehensive Oral Implantology Residency Foundation, said.
The program is part of Jacksonville University’s Brooks Rehabilitation College of Healthcare Sciences. It is supported by the Comprehensive Oral Implantology Residency Foundation and uses curriculum from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. There is also an online option that allows students to receive instruction through an in-person, paid residency at other implant dentistry practices in the U.S.
The residency begins in the summer of 2022.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
